ON COVERS OF New AT&T REAL YELLOW PAGES DIRECTORIES
More Than 309,000 Directories to Be Distributed to Area Residents and Businesses
PANAMA CITY, Fla., March 26, 2008 – Pier Park, Panama City’s new open-air regional lifestyle center, is featured on the cover of the new AT&T Real Yellow Pages directory for Panama City. The Humane Society of Bay County will be featured on the AT&T Real Yellow Pages Companion directory, which is the smaller, more portable version of the traditional directory.
More than 309,000 copies of the AT&T Real Yellow Pages and Companion have been produced for distribution this year. Delivery starts this week and lasts approximately four weeks. The directory also will be available to new residents and businesses throughout the year.
“We are pleased to feature Pier Park and The Humane Society of Bay County on the cover of our new AT&T Real Yellow Pages directories,” said Barb Orton, AT&T Real Yellow Pages regional sales manager. “We’re always working to make our directories an even greater value to our customers by tailoring the contents and services offered in them to meet the needs of our customers. The AT&T Real Yellow Pages and Companion directories are directories you can count as your complete source of community information. ”
Pier Park is a unique open-air regional retail environment providing shopping, entertainment, tourist attractions, and dining experiences for the Panama City market and the entire Emerald Coast. Located on Front Beach Road in the heart of Panama City Beach, Pier Park is ideally located to serve the area’s growing residential community, exploding condo market, and over 7 million tourists that visit each year. Pier Park is approximately 1.1 million square feet.
“We are thrilled that Pier Park will be represented on the new directories,” said Felicia Robinson Cook, Director of Mall Marketing, Pier Park. “This means that, for the next year, the Pier Park will be front and center anytime someone picks up an AT&T Real Yellow Pages directory. We hope the cover will remind residents and visitors of this unique spot for shopping, entertainment, dining and more right here in Panama City.”
The Humane Society of Bay County is a locally operated non-profit humane society. The group seeks to promote the humane treatment of animals, foster respect for life and the environment, and to end the needless destruction of companion animals. The Humane Society of Bay County’s goals include adoption of companion pets, promotion of spay and neutering, humane education, and providing help and support to the companion animals of Bay County.
“We’re proud The Humane Society of Bay County will be featured on so many Companion directories this year,” said Mary Sanger, Bay County Humane Society Executive Director. “It is our hope that area residents will turn to us when looking for a new companion animal as this supports our mission of placing every animal we accept into a loving, lifetime home.”
In addition to area residential and business listings, the AT&T Real Yellow Pages includes local, state and federal government listings; area attractions and events; arts, maps, emergency and 911 guides; severe weather tips; and other important local information.
